Tech Review

Unlike USB-powered gloves, USB-powered speakers are a great idea: You don't need a power adapter and you can bypass your cheap laptop's sometimes err...cheap audio chip (You can play music if your audio chip or its drivers don't work, either.). I have mine hooked up to a USB hub so that whenever I plug the hub's usb cable into my laptop, I have the speaker's superior sound, as well as my hard drive, drawing tablet, etc.

The reason I chose the V20s over its little brothers, the V10s is the cool case. It makes the V20s a pleasure to travel with.

How do they sound? Very good. Unless you're a sound squid, you'll be happy. You'll be thrilled if you compare them to your laptop's speakers. One very cool feature is that the speakers sync up with your computer's sound. In other words, you don't have to control the volume of both your computer and your speakers- the speakers' volume button controls the computer volume and vice versa.

They sound especially good with Cuban music so if you purchase them, you should subscribe to my Cubanocast feed.

The speakers might cut out at high volume due to the limitations of the USB port, but if you use a hub, you'll be OK.
